Hi guys,
I'm trying to install eSIM in 4a. In a specific situation, where I'm in other country than the carrier's (and the newly acquired physical SIM is not with me).
So, to avoid being blocked by the carrier due to foreign location, I prepared the operation as follows:
- VPN (a good one): always ON, the "right location" ON;
- GPS emulator/spoofer: the "right location" ON, all seem to work properly;
And of course, the most unwanted stuff I can imagine, which is Google crap - installed:
- G Play Services
- G Play Store
- G Services Framework
(with permissions: Network, Location where it aplies)
ALSO:
- "privileged eSIM management: Enabled;
- No physical SIM in the device;
- Location: ON;
- The device is connected to LAN.
- Airplane mode: ON (then OFF, but with the same result)
- The OS is up to date, no updates pending etc.
Unfortunately it didn't work. The installation process crashes before it actually starts.
In "Connect to mobile network"
> "Download a SIM instead? / Add a number using eSIM"
> "Download your eSIM" NEXT
> at ..."Checking network info" IT CRASHES [black screen], then goes back to > ""Connect to mobile network" .. "Download a SIM instead?"...
I suppose it may be a problem with Permissions in G apps. But even adding extra permissions (i.e. Pnone, Camera) in Play Services and Play Store doesn't help.
What I did wrong? Can you help me with that? I badly need this stupid eSIM.
Also my question is: What are the minimum necessary permissions for each of 3 Google apps to support eSIM installation.
And, what is the correct status of Airplane mode for installation? ON or OFF?
Thank you
